That calls for this by Harry Richman

Funny, edgar. Putting on the Ritz is a good one, however. Still like the originals.

Here's a new face on the horizon. First some info.

Boyd Tyrone "Ty" Herndon (born May 2, 1962) is an American country music singer. Signed to Epic Records in 1995, Herndon made his debut that year with the Number One single "What Mattered Most", followed by the release of his first album, also entitled What Mattered Most. This album was followed one year later by Living in a Moment, which produced his second Number One country hit in its title track.

Now his hat song.

Thanks, edgar. Ah the Sombreros Love 'em. Don't know The Champs, but it was perfect.

Tried to find a photo of Rudolph Valentino in his gaucho hat. No luck.

The Champs are best known for "Tequila." Glenn Campbell played with them for a time.
Well, you got to have pants too

That "guy" is a gal Ms PD -

Would have thought that the Yanks would have known more about their national heros -
Sunita Williams (born Sunita Pandya; September 19, 1965) is an American astronaut and United States Navy officer who holds the record for longest spaceflight by a woman. She was assigned to the International Space Station as a member of Expedition 14 and then joined Expedition 15. She holds the record of the longest space flight (195 days) for a female space traveller.

You're right, Barry, I should have known lots of things. Thanks for the information.

Did you know To To?

This is not The Meadowlands that I was looking for, but I hope it will suffice.

first let's celebrate the birthday of a great country singer : Louise Mandrell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsV_38drDZs

and now let's hear canadian country singer Ronnie Prophet :

( weren't those " muttonchops " lovely ! )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5k0Pwbe5dI

and here is another birthday : Carlo Bergonzi

( best known as an opera singer , he does some beautiful singing of :
Strangers in the Night )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfEqXxj-z_M

It's been a heckuva day here! Dealing with plumbing for most of the day. I'm bushed.

-----
Nice to see yitwail back! Hi guy!

Edgar? Not sure on that tune.

------

I'm currently listening to this song:

Miniature World [Critical World Remix]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyW33GP8Oxw

good night and good morning , all listeners !

( GOOD TO SEE YOU , REYN ! )

today is the birthday of one of the great voices of the 20th century :
WOODY GUTHRIE !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQYKJaWuj0Y

( this is not his best known song - but i think it expresses mankind's frustation - and the video has some great pictures )

Hurry back, Brit. Know You and the Night and the Music best by June Christie.

Welcome back, hbg. Loved all of your music: Funny one by Ronnie. Lovely one by Louise. Carlo does Strangers in the Night better than "old blue eyes", and Woody Guthrie is one of my favorites.

Reyn, plumbing is a dirty job, but Miles' miniature world was clean and beautiful.

Two songs for the morning here.

First a tribute to a marvelous birthday man.

His Through a Glass Darkly was fantastic. A quote from the King James version of the Bible. Corinthians:

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

and, from wonderful Nat.

Remembering the first teacher in space.

Christa McAuliffe (September 2, 1948 – January 28, 1986) was an American teacher from Concord, New Hampshire, and was one of the seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

We knew that man who worked for the company who made the defective O ring.
